Note

This VM series is currently in Preview. See the Preview Terms Of Use | Microsoft Azure for legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability. For more information and to sign up for the preview, please visit our announcement and follow the link to signup.

The FXmsv2-series Virtual Machine (VM) runs on the 5th Generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8573C (Emerald Rapids) processor in a hyper threaded configuration. FXv2-series VMs features an all-core-turbo frequency up to 4.0 GHz. These virtual machines offer up to 96 vCPU and up to 1832 GiB of RAM.  The FXmsv2-series benefits workloads that are ideal for memory-intensive enterprise applications requiring a high memory to CPU ratio, high performance, high CPU clock speed, higher remote storage IOPs and throughput. Typical use-cases for FX-series are the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and SQL workloads

FXmsv2-series virtual machines don't support local storage, thus offering a lower price point for entry. You can attach Standard SSDs, Standard HDDs, Premium SSDs, and Premium SSD V2 disk storage to these virtual machines. You can also attach Ultra Disk storage based on its regional availability. Disk storage is billed separately from virtual machines.

Storage resources

Table definitions

¹Some sizes support bursting to temporarily increase disk performance. Burst speeds can be maintained for up to 30 minutes at a time.
Storage capacity is shown in units of GiB or 1024^3 bytes. When you compare disks measured in GB (1000^3 bytes) to disks measured in GiB (1024^3) remember that capacity numbers given in GiB may appear smaller. For example, 1023 GiB = 1098.4 GB.
Disk throughput is measured in input/output operations per second (IOPS) and MBps where MBps = 10^6 bytes/sec.
Data disks can operate in cached or uncached modes. For cached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to ReadOnly or ReadWrite. For uncached data disk operation, the host cache mode is set to None.

Networking resources

Table definitions

Expected network bandwidth is the maximum aggregated bandwidth allocated per VM type across all NICs, for all destinations. For more information, see Virtual machine network bandwidth
Upper limits aren't guaranteed. Limits offer guidance for selecting the right VM type for the intended application. Actual network performance will depend on several factors including network congestion, application loads, and network settings. For information on optimizing network throughput, see Optimize network throughput for Azure virtual machines.
To achieve the expected network performance on Linux or Windows, you may need to select a specific version or optimize your VM. For more information, see Bandwidth/Throughput testing (NTTTCP).
